Deuteronomy means "second law"!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Deuteronomy

 

 

Deuterostomes are named that because their anus is their second mouth. Really!

Well, not really.  It just means that the anus forms before the mouth, but it does mean "second mouth"!

Before the Deutsche Mark, Germany used the Reichsmark, among other forms of currency.
